first of all, newt gingrich is the guy who's been talking about how he wants seven lincoln/douglas-style pure, endless, serious debates with president obama. but in the meantime, he wants to engage in this circus, as you rightly call it. i saw newt last night, spoke to him at the kennedy center honors, of all places. this is not the guy who's out campaigning. he's not shaking hands in iowa. he's looking to surf any publicity or glitz wave he can find. that's why he's working the crowd at the kennedy center honors. that's why he went up to new york today to see donald trump. we have a dozen reporters on the ground in iowa, chris, for "the huffington post" and our companion company, patch.com. our reporters out there are saying that newt is very poorly organized for the caucuses. but that's not the way he's thinking. he's thinking in terms of pure publicity and media wave, and he'll go stand next to anybody or do anything to the system -- and by the way, these are not debates. they've never really been debates. this will be the least debate-like of them all. he doesn't care. he just wants

a democrat saying why is newt at the lincoln center or the kennedy center hanging out with the rest of us at cocktail parties when he should be in iowa and when he should be in new hampshire? do you agree with mark that these campaigns are getting more and more driven by the media instead of grassroots and that's why newt gingrich can continue living in washington, d.c. while he's trying to win the iowa caucuses? >> yes and no. at some point you have to get people to go to the polls, especially in iowa you have to get them to caucus although the republican system is different than democratic which mark knows better than i do. if on the ground operations were important, you would see rick santorum doing better than he is. he lived in iowa and isn't doing well. i can't imagine come election day when these candidates need voters that having some sort of infrastructure on the ground won't matter. it has to matter. otherwise we're just throwing out political history. >> i can just say again i know it is media driven but at the end of the day, there's no substitute for knocking door to door
